Rudy Chetty  from Amazon Web Services in Seattle, will present the School of IT talk with a presentation entitled, "Rainbow to Rain - A Saffer’s journey to the Cloud and IoT". 

Abstract:  In this seminar, we’ll cover what cloud computing means and how it’s shaping the future. In this dynamic field, we will explore Amazon Web Services (AWS) and see how AWS are innovating on behalf of their customers. Just imagine if you knew the state of every connected device or thing and you could reason on top of that data - what problems would you solve? With AWS Internet of Things (IoT), the platform for your solution becomes an immediate reality. AWS IoT allows you to sense and act locally on devices, store data and manage in the cloud, and perform sophisticated analytics to derive useful insights. Come learn more about this exciting technology!
